Duquette, who interviewed for the position Friday, served as GM of the Montreal Expos from 1991 to 1994. In his final season, the Expos had a .649 winning percentage in 114 games, but lost a chance at the postseason when the players' strike resulted in part of the season and all of the playoffs being cancelled.

He was named the Sporting News MLB Executive of the Year in 1992, when Montreal won 87 games and finished in second place in the NL East after finishing last the previous year.

Duquette went on to become GM for the Boston Red Sox until 2002. During his tenure, the Red Sox made the postseason three times, winning the AL East in 1995 and AL wild card in 1998 and 1999.

The deal ends a long process for the Orioles that has included at least one candidate turning down the job.

Last week, Toronto Blue Jays assistant GM Tony LaCava opted to remain in his current position rather than join the Orioles. In addition, Jerry Dipoto interviewed for the GM job with Baltimore before being hired as the Los Angeles Angels’ GM.

The Orioles GM position opened up when Andy MacPhail resigned last month following the team's 14th consecutive losing season.
